باب الشمس (قرية)

باب الشمس (قرية)
قرية باب الشمس هي قرية فلسطينة تم إنشاؤها في 11/1/2013 لمواجة الاستيطان الإسرائيلي في القدس. وقد أقام حوالي 250 شابة وشاب من مختلف المناطق الفلسطينية إضافة لمتضامينين أجانب الخيام كبداية لإنشاء القرية في شرق القدس ما يسمى بأراضي منطقة E1. تتكون القرية من خمسين خيمة كبداية. وتأتي هذه الخطوة كأحد أساليب المقاومة الشعبية الفلسطينية لاستراد الأراضي المسلوبة.
وقد أصدرت سلطات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي قراراً بهدم القرية، وحاصروها صباح يوم السبت 12/1/2013, ولكن الناشطين الفلسطينين قاموا بتقديم استئناف فوري على القرار لمحكمة العدل العليا التي أصدرت قراراً بوقف التنفيذ لحين بحث القضية.
وأعرب الناشطون عن عزمهم إكمال الطريق وإقامة (باب الشمس1) و(باب الشمس2) لمواجهة مخططات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي بالسيطرة على الأراضي الفلسطينية. وتأتي فكرة القرية كردٍ على قرار الاحتلال ببناء 4000 وحدة استيطانية على قطعة الأرض التي تعود ملكيتها القانونية للفلسطينيين.
وقد تم استلهام اسم القرية من رواية الأديب اللبناني الياس خوري باب الشمس التي تتحدث عن اللجوء الفلسطيني والتمسك بالأرض وبالعودة والتي قد تم تحويلها إلى فلم بعنوان باب الشمس-الرحيل والعودة. وقد أعجب خوري بالفكرة وأرسل رسالة إلى أهل قرية باب الشمس قائلاً "'لن اقول يا ليتني كنت معكم، فأنا معكم. أراكم وأرى كيف صار الحلم على أيديكم حقيقة منغرسة في الأرض. على هذه الأرض ما يستحق الحياة' كما كتب محمود درويش، لأنكم عندما بنيتم قريتكم الرائعة أعدتم المعنى إلى المعنى، وصرتم أبناء هذه الأرض وأسيادها.

Basco Airport

Basco Airport is an airport serving the province of Batanes in the Philippines. It is located in the provincial capital, Basco. It is one of two airports in the Batanes Islands, the other being Itbayat Airport.
The airport is classified as a Class 2 principal, minor domestic airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), a body of the Department of Transportation that is responsible for the operations of non-major airports.
The airport is one of the hubs of Sky Pasada.
Although the airport in the past was briefly served by international flights, the airport is not officially classified as an international airport.
History
Basco Airport was first built in 1930 as Batan Airfield. During the Second World War, it became a target of Japanese forces during their invasion of the Philippines, seizing it along with the whole island on the first day of the Pacific War on 8 December 1941. Subsequently, the airfield was bombed by American planes in the closing months of the war in 1945, but the Japanese managed to hold on to it until their official surrender.

Frenulum of labia minora

Frenulum of labia minora
The frenulum of labia minora (fourchette or posterior commissure of the labia minora) is a frenulum where the labia minora meet posteriorly.
Pathology
The fourchette may be torn during delivery due to the sudden stretching of the vulval orifice, or during copulation. To prevent this tearing in a haphazard manner, obstetricians and, less frequently, midwives may perform an episiotomy, which is a deliberate cut made in the perineum starting from the fourchette and continuing back along the perineum toward the anus. Sometimes this surgical cut may extend to involve the perineal body and thus reduce anal sphincter function. Thus some obstetricians have opted to perform a posterior-lateral cut in the perineum to prevent this potential complication from occurring.
The fourchette may also be torn in acts of violence wherein forced entry occurs such as rape. When the fourchette is torn, the bleeding which ensues sometimes requires surgical suturing for containment.
Etymology
The fourchette is named with the French word for "fork" or "wishbone", owing to its shape. (See frenulum for its etymology.)

Sam Hamad

Sam Hamad (born June 17, 1958) is a Canadian politician. He is the former member of National Assembly (MNA) for the riding of Louis-Hebert in the Quebec City region. Member of the Quebec Liberal Party, he has held various cabinet posts during his 14 years in the National Assembly. He was the Minister of Natural Resources, Minister for Transports and he was also the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity, Minister of Labour and Minister responsible for the Capitale-Nationale region.
Biography
Early years and education
Born in Damascus, Syria, Hamad moved to Quebec City and studied civil engineering at Université Laval where he received both a bachelor's and master's degree. He also studied at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières where he obtained a master's degree in management. His birth name was Samer Hamed-Allah but he changed it when he moved to Quebec, saying that Samer sounded too much like the French words "sa mère" (meaning "his mother").
Career
He was an administration member for the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec for nine years, while he was also a lecturer at Université Laval and the Université du Québec à Rimouski and the President of the Quebec Board of Trade and Industry.
He was also involved in the community, being the vice-president of Centraide-Quebec a board member of the Laval Hospital Foundation. He was also part of several associations promoting development in the region including the GATIQ which promoted advance technologies and innovations for the region.
Before making his foray into politics, Hamad was Vice-President of Groupe Roche, an influential engineering firm, from 1998 to 2003.
Politics
Hamed entered politics in 2003, where he became the MNA for Louis-Hebert as the Liberals led by Jean Charest defeated the Parti Québécois. He would be named Minister of Wildlife, Natural Resources and Parks and the Minister responsible for the Capitale-Nationale (Quebec) region. He was removed from Cabinet in 2005 after he was criticized in regard to a project which would have added a new thermo plant in the Suroit region.
Hamad was narrowly re-elected in 2007. Initially, it was thought that the Action démocratique du Québec won the seat but late ballots pushed Hamad to a late-victory and no recounts were made. As he was only one of two Liberal MNAs elected in the Quebec City region (the other being Philippe Couillard), Hamad was named the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity until where he was named Minister of Transports, swapping portfolios with Julie Boulet. Briefly in 2010, he also held the Labour portfolio after David Whissell resigned his position following conflict of interest allegations.
He returned to the Labour portfolio on April 23, 2014.
He announced his resignation as an MNA on April 27, 2017.
